A month ago, I was still solidly in summer mode, eating piles of cubed watermelon (and pickling the rind!) and hoarding the last of the season’s peaches.

But on social media and elsewhere it seemed like practically everyone else was pumped up for fall, getting a jump on Halloween decorations and counting down the days until a certain coffee retailer began hawking pumpkin-flavored lattes once again.

Sometimes life calls for cookies.

And when that happens, this is the first recipe I turn to.

These cookies are, hands down, the best cookies I have ever made and probably among the best I have ever eaten.
